Firefighters battled a fire at an abandoned building early Tuesday morning in Egg Harbor Township.

The fire broke out 11 minutes after midnight Tuesday, in the 100 block of Blue Spruce Avenue, near Marlboro Avenue, Township Police said.

No injuries were reported, and the fire was contained. About half a dozen fire companies responded - including Farmington, Cardiff, West Atlantic City, and Bargaintown - along with local EMS and rescue crews.

Atlantic City firefighters extinguished a blaze beneath the Boardwalk on Saturday afternoon as daylight waned into what was expected to be the coldest night so far this fall.

Fire Department personnel responded to a 911 call at 3:45 p.m. for a fire under the Boardwalk near Morris Avenue. Within 10 minutes, crews put out the fire started at a makeshift campsite that was empty when officials arrived, Fire Chief Dennis Brooks said.

"People living under the Boardwalk, when they hear the sirens going, they get out of there and blend into the people walking on the Boardwalk," Brooks said.

No damage or injuries resulted from the fire, he said.

One mile northeast, a storefront remains shuttered since damaged by fires sparked beneath Schiff's Central Pier one year ago. Authorities believe the nighttime blazes Nov. 21 and Dec. 5 spread from small trash fires often set by homeless people for warmth.

Authorities are investigating a fire that destroyed part of a residential property Saturday afternoon in the Venice Park section of Atlantic City.

Atlantic City firefighters responded at about 1:30 p.m. to the 1900 block of East Riverside Drive. They arrived to find flames had engulfed a semi-detached garage and spread to the siding of the single-level house there, Fire Chief Dennis Brooks said.

They brought the blaze under control within 13 minutes, but not before the roof of the garage had collapsed, Brooks said.

No one was hurt as a result of the fire, he said.

The property owner, listed as Dennis Morgan in current tax records, was the only person home at the time, Brooks said.
